About the Samagra Pension Portal
The Samagra Pension Portal is a government-managed online platform that streamlines social security pension applications and payments. It integrates the Samagra family registry (Samagra ID) with state pension schemes, allowing beneficiaries to apply for old age, widow, and disability pensions conveniently.
The portal serves multiple stakeholders: beneficiaries can track application status and payments; local government staff verify proposals and upload pension master data; banks and payment agencies reconcile disbursements. By centralizing information and enabling end-to-end digital processing, the portal reduces paperwork, improves transparency, and ensures timely benefit delivery.
Developed with support from state IT departments and the National Informatics Centre (NIC), the portal also provides dashboards and reporting tools for administrators. Accurate use of Samagra IDs and Aadhaar seeding helps avoid duplication and ensures the right benefits reach the eligible recipients.
